ESPN+ & FOX Sports with Custom Channels via EPlusTV

I'm rebuilding the container and properly mapping it so i can access the logs.

Hey all, I was trying to look in this thread to see if I could find an answer but I couldn't seem to find one.

Is there a FAQ or guide to getting this setup? This is WAY above my wheelhouse, but I'm happy to admit when I don't know something and I really want to learn.

I have Pluto working on my Channels server, but I just grabbed the playlist link from someone that posted it on here.

I downloaded docker, I ran the eplustv container, it says its done building the schedule, but after that point I am completely lost.

Pull up the web interface at ip of container:5000

Did you follow the instruction on the GitHub page which is linked in 1st post?

I have, but those instructions say to pull up the web interface with container 8000, Docker shows that as well and it says server not found.

But you're saying 5000? I still get a server not found when I do that as well. My plex server and the channels server have no issue.

The default is 8000. I have mine ported different.

If the server ain’t found, @ ip:8000 then your ip is probably incorrect.

What system is docker on?

Sorry for the delay. I was traveling.

I am using ESPN+, Fox 4k, MLB and the free options (Bally, Mountain West) that you have in there. I am not proxying. It's running on a Mac Mini M4.

For the last couple of days SNY through MLB.tv is not working. All other MLB.tv channels that I get appear to work properly. I have restarted the container and updated my tokens to try to troubleshoot, but that did not resolve the issue.

I am getting the following error in channels with ip addresses redacted:

Failed to start stream for ch116: M3U: Could not fetch playlist from EPlusTV URL:Port: GET: EPlustTV URL:Port/channels/1042.m3u8: 404 Not Found

2025/06/11 15:19:00.948073 [HLS] Stopping transcoder session chXXX-dANY-ClientIP (out=0s finished=false first_seq=0 last_seq=-1)

And the error in the container logs is:

Could not get a playlist for channel #1042. Please make sure there is an event scheduled and you have access to it.

Happy fathers day.

yes network on gotham sports is not playing. system was previously working fine no changes on my end.

edit:

getting below error

still getting 404 any idea of a fix? thanks.

Instead of using the localhost address, use the local ip address of the machine the docker is on (e.g. 192.168...).

Tried it still getting same error. thanks.

Just went through my eplustv linear channels some don't work others work fine so I guess yes is not the only one that is out right now. also noticed no epg for the channels that do not work.

Still getting 404 on yes on gotham sports.

same here for Gotham/Yes i even removed gotham in eplus site.....readded re authenticated etc still no go

So it is a confirmed bug, can we get a fix. thanks.

Give @m0ngr31 some time to respond. He does this on the side on his time. Hang tight!

+1 that Gotham isn't working anymore, it won't authenticate. But I also can't get SNY to work either anymore, along with MLB Network. There's no epg for these channels and they aren't working.
I've got version v4.10.0

Hey everyone, sorry about the bugs!

Unfortunately I'm dealing with a medical situation that will sideline me for a while. Not sure when I'll be able to start looking at some of these
